How do you compare fission and fussion?
With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.
When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus nuclear fusion has taken place true or false?
Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.
What does the large nucleus do?
The larger nuclei are unstable and undergo the disintegration process to gain the stability they emit particles as the radio active rays. the largest stable nucleus is for 82Pb (Lead) so nuclei having atomic numbers higher than 82 are Radioactive.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission
What is the joining of two or more nuclei to form larger nucleus?

Combines two smaller nuclei to make a larger nucleus?
Geiger counter
What do you call a smaller crystal used to grow a larger crystal?
a nucleus or plural nuclei
What is the best definition of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the joining of two or more nuclei into one nucleus (apex) CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
Why is a larger nucleus not as stable as a smaller nucleus?
A smaller nucleus is generally more stable. Below are some general rules: # (Except for really small nuclei) All stable nuclei contain a number of neutrons that is equal to or greater than the number of protons. # Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons is unstable. # If a nuclei has even numbers of nucleons, it's generally more stable. # Nuclei with "magic numbers" usually tend to be more stable.
Energy is released when smaller nuclei join to form a larger nucleus in a process called what?
Nuclear fusion
What is the splitting of a nucleus into smaller nuclei?
"fission"
Which energy releases smaller nuclei to form a larger nucleus?
You are thinking of nuclear fusion, where in the stars hydrogen forms into helium with energy release
Joining together lightweight nuclei with a nucleus that has greater mass is called?
nuclear fusion
